Ask Lemmy

Use it.

Sounds cliche but I would have a massive animal sanctuary. Our domesticated animals shouldn't be left alone. They need us as much as we need them.

Destroy capitalism.

Continue doing what I love without having to worry about money being an issue

People have found these and gotten arrested over exploiting them, let's be real

Duplicate money.

Hack the planet!

Everyone's kickstarter will meet every goal. All of them. Even the bad ideas. 😈

See if I can manufacture a world-wide property value crash

I'd house and feed the homeless, rescue a SHIT LOAD of farm animals, and generally be a good person. But that's why I'll never be uber rich.

Not ask the internet what I would do – revealing that I’ve found an infinite money glitch.

Outbid the car/weapons lobby and errect an eco-social government >:) Watch out, we'll support your purchase of an electric car and reinstate the Vegane Wurst!!!!

Fund my totally nonfictional company by commissioning professional online artists like Panda Paco or Reva the Scarf to make official portraits of all of us totally real people, starting with me, the head beaver.

That's probably the first thing I'd wanna do.

Shut up and tell absofukinglutely no one about it, then I would work out a way to secretly siphon it off to people I like.

One guy already found this hack and created a shitty “AI” company

• Tell absolutely no one.
• Helping the people who did help me when I was in need of help.
• Live an simple, boring life.
• Continue studying what I like (I love learning).

Use the hell out of it.

Tell no one, obscure monetary transactions to the best of my ability, and fund global communism

I'd spawn a million tons of cash above every single capitalist's house and let them be suffocated to death by the thing they love most

Build and buy media networks and hire the best investigative journalists. Back centre-left political parties worldwide and back unions and backstop strike funds until the whole world strikes like the French. Fund electrified mass transit, renewable energy and passivehouse construction and urban controlled-environment agriculture. Fund orphanages, school food programs and poverty alleviation and social justice causes.

I'd also start an eco-religion whose funding goes to a land trust that buys important and sensitive lands to return to wilderness and 50% can be lightly used by humans as national parks and 50% is forbidden for humans at all. Church of Gaia. The church would have monks who work as rangers/land defenders to enforce the holy order.

I would live a quiet simple life in a relatively modest but comfortable passive house on a permaculture farm. My "car" would be a selection of percheron horses and a small selection of carriage/wagons.

Tell no one, live in my tiny house, buy high quality jeans, travel a lot by myself, get a library's worth of books, and make art/video games all day.

Probably cause mass inflation and a return to bartering.

Keep it to myself and fund projects I like (under the assumption that I could get a million € per h for example)

I'd sell an e-book about this glitch on Amazon and generate passive income!

Well maybe it's too boring and obvious, but... Seize the means of production, distribute equal shares of its ownership to everyone, design a democratic process to decide what should come next.

Plant crops, sell crops and hold some back to plant next year’s crop.

Real-life infinite money/duplication glitch.

Something terrible.

Yes, it has happened to me.

I had put my money into the ticket vending machine on the train platform. The ticket came out, but the machine could not cut off the paper properly. Well, not too serious, I could live with that ticket that was looking just a little bit crumpled. After several seconds, an error message appeared on the screen. Then the machine decided to give me my money back. So I had both: my ticket and my money.

I liked that so much that I tried it again, and it gave exactly the same result again.

I could probably have repeated it for hours, but then my train appeared. :-)

Abuse the fuck out of it so I could right as many wrongs as I could with said money.

If we had lots of time, then it's easy. Just buy total market index funds and sit and wait. This is why vampires are usually rich. If you've lived that long, and you're not rich, you're doing something wrong.

$2 at 7% a year for 50 years = $58.91

$2 at 7% a year, for 500 years = $1,505,863.24

The power of compound interest!
